We’re hiring full-time Events Team members for the 2026 season (May–October) to help set up, run, and break down events.

• Assist with event service including food running and serving guests
• Help ensure events run smoothly from start to finish
• Coordinate with managers, bar staff, and kitchen team
• Keep event areas clean and organized before, during, and after events

Schedule

• Full-time seasonal role: May – October 2026
• Flexible availability required
• Most events take place late afternoon or evening, with occasional morning events

Ideal Candidates

• Reliable and team-oriented
• Comfortable in a fast-paced environment
• Able to lift and move tables, chairs, and event equipment
• Hospitality or event experience is helpful but not required

If you enjoy working events and want to spend the summer on the Chicago Riverwalk, we’d love to hear from you.
